Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a phase-interpolation signal generating device, and more particularly to a phase-interpolation signal generating device capable of avoiding a short circuit of Φ 4 Ω, L, and generating a linearly-distributed phase interpolation signal. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Multi-phase systems and various communications before phase-locking, after data interference and attenuation and attenuation, the timing of the data is aligned. A phase lock is used to align the reception clock with a data recovery cycle. The phase-lock-back is the received ( Voltage- Changed to voltage reliability to accelerate / The system is widely used in data-recovery loop-circuits, and it is also the main design trend of the target system. In the technical means of the material recovery system, The receiving signal received by the noise of the communication medium is restored by the equalizer (D ata Stream), and the correct sampling of the high-frequency material stream (Data Stream) depends on the change of the precise clock (Rising / Falling Edge). Sampling. Traditional data recovery systems use loops to achieve Clock-Recovery, borrowed data streams and sampling clocks. But using phase-locked loops to achieve several disadvantages: (1) Lock time The mechanism of adjusting the phase by way of comparison uses the result of comparison between a reference frequency (a data stream) and the output of a voltage controlled oscillator (p control led osci i lator), which is fed back to the power supply. The input of the pressure control vibrator is used to reduce the phase. In other words, the phase adjustment process requires

Page 4 483258 Description of the invention (2) __ The multi-clock cycle (Cl0ck cycle) is 4 than the jealous stove. The eye position is likely to be hundreds of clock cycles. 7. ^ Phase noise: phase-locked loop voltage: 2 rooms are longer. (2) Frequency offset will be caused when the sound is disturbed (Freq_c; dm also depends on the arrangement of the received data stream. Compared with the two meters, the phase comparison signal does not change the upper and lower edges. When the phase comes in, it can start to shift. Causes the phase mismatch seen in the spectrum. Second, it provides one receiving channel. For multiple: use; can only recover the clock when it is in motion. Frequency, then multiple phase-locked phase returns. Therefore, the current data is back to the German ratio. ys 1 technical means, using multiple phase separation: 2 ::: The use of multi-phase system needs to select it when the sampling clock can be added to the $ = feature, only the phase lock time is shorter, you can also use one Two-phase lock action, not only the use of receiving channels, but also the production of phase signals: = loop one provides multiple sets of delay loops (Delay-Lock Loop: use a long series of delay locks Uelay chain), such as two serial inverters later The clock signal is used to generate the concern of generating different phase delays, but it requires many delay units. ^ The advantage is that there is no stable bit. Whether the application and cost considerations are applicable. The electrical clock is 60 degrees. Phase noise interference is a bottleneck in design (II) Multi-phase and multi-phase VC0: Recent breakthroughs in multi-phase voltage controlled oscillators and new phase oscillators can produce five. Explanation of the invention (3) More detailed phase differences The ancient cloth is in a clock cycle, and the problem of the produceable problem is: 2: Two-way, but how to avoid the multiple-phase cover mode is an important consideration. One of the difficulties of the circuit. The layout is also this (Electrical): Phase interpolation is the production of two-element multi-eye; Γ interpolation (Phase interp〇lation phase input to create a single bit signal-'Using different orders, the circuit used is the output of the internal f. It is simpler for the future technology to be an interpolator (―). This method also has the advantages over the above (a) column because of phase interpolation: (a) The method is not limited to extension, and the method has the following to determine the distribution of multiple phases # ay t), the delay time density i and the number, can be designed in consideration of the cost and the degree of interpolation required, it is an absolute compromise, and there is no stability problem, and the phase after interpolation: the number can be lost ( Add in two-phase re-oscillation mode, for example: if 16 phases are required The number can be multiplied by 8 phases. 8 wood 2 = 16 ·, if 20 phases are needed, 10 phases can be included in the || ^, that is, 10 * 2 = 20, or 5 phases are interpolated twice (5 * 2 * 2 Interpolation T times: Fortunately, father. (2) Because phase interpolation can be used, the free number (Globe Cl0ck) generates the global multiphase clock of the multiple phases of the near end. Receiving channel operation '(Local loop and multi-phase oscillator and other technical means will reduce the number of bit lock buffers. The area of the line and clock and the traditional phase interpolation method can be divided into analog signals.

Naru but the traditional digital type phase interpolation method still has its shortcomings, which can be roughly (1) (1) The short-circuit current consumes too much power. (2) Non-linear phase division due to the non-50% duty cycle (Duty cyc 1 e) clock output.

Circuit example diagram, from the following! Represents the high level and 〇 represents the low level. When (CK1, CK1) is in the process of (0, 〇)-(1, 〇)-(1 '1), when CK1 rises from 0 to 1, then It indicates that the backward clock number CK2 is about to rise at this time (still 0), and the common output terminal 3, which was originally 1 at this time, will also drop to 0, and ck 1 = 1 will make the p-channel metal oxide in the controlled switch The semi-transistor (PM0S) is disconnected and the N-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor (NM0S) is turned on. Because the path of VDD is cut off, even when (CK1, CK2) = (1, 0), the first inverter 31 N-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor (NM0S) is turned on 'and the P-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor (pm0S) of the second inverter 32 is also turned on to form a short-circuited path, but it will not produce conventional means Short circuit current, and the common output terminal 30 discharges slowly to 0 due to the stray capacitance, which also meets the requirements of the phase interpolation function. On the other hand, (CK 1, CK2) is in the process of (1,1) — (〇, 1) — (〇, 〇). If CK1 drops to 0, it means that the backward clock number CK2 is about to fall. (Still 1). At this time, the common output terminal 30, which was originally 0, will also rise to 1. Therefore, CK1 = 0 will make the P-channel metal-oxide semiconductor (PM0S) conductive and the N-channel metal-oxide semiconductor (NM0S). Open circuit, because the path of GND is cut off, so even when (CK1, CK2) = (〇'1), the p-channel metal-oxygen half of the first inverter 31

Page 17 ^ 258 V. Description of the invention (15) When the transistor is turned on, and the N-channel metal-oxide semiconductor transistor of the second inverter 32 is also turned on to form a short-circuit path, the short-circuit current as in conventional methods will not be generated. The common output terminal 3 0 also meets the requirements of the phase interpolation function because the stray capacitance is slowly charged to 1. The signal at the common output terminal 30 is output by the third inverter 33 to output the double-level clock signal ck2, whose phase is between CK1 and CK2, as shown in the fifth figure. Since the phase interpolation circuit in this embodiment of the present invention places a current switch controlled by the leading phase CK1 between VDD and GND to avoid the short-circuit current generated when the phases are mixed, the problem of power consumption can be greatly improved. However, because the generation of the intermediate phase signal is caused by the capacitors charged / discharged by the inverters controlled by the clocks of different phases, if the circuit itself is unbalanced in charge and discharge power and the charge / discharge current is not properly proportional to the capacitance, it will cause The intermediate phase deviates from the center of the adjacent phase (as shown in the fifth figure, P! Is not equal to p2), which causes the ideal value of the duty cycle to shift by 50%, although the appropriate parameter adjustment can make the error of the intermediate phase less than 3 %, But uncertain factors such as process drift and temperature change, and stray capacitance that are difficult to estimate can still make the intermediate phase drift ideal.

The signal time-domain plan on the signal & interpolation circuit processing, the leading and trailing clocks have undergone similar phases: inner: the gate and phase < interpolation also goes through the phase of the rising edge and the τ falling edge. Therefore, the N-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor (NM0S) and p pass = the imbalance effect of ⑹ itself and the difference between the circuit itself and the delay time are equal to '10, which compensates the nonlinearity of the phase distribution, as shown in the seventh figure (e ) What's wrong?
